I remember when I was first diagnosed I tried to be in contact with as many people with MS as I could. I thik it was througha program with Avonex that had some discussion forums or offers for pen pals or something. Who kows I may be completley out of my mind in tinking that! Anyway, I kep a lot of those email from back and forth. I was an RN so detail inciteful writing was my job. Years later I went back and revisited some of those emails. There is no way I could ever be able to think and write like that. I don't know if I lose it by not using it or what. But it's gone. But I have grand kids now and they don't need long inciteful letters to accept me!
